The artist featured on DAY 26 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart demonstrates a wonderful eye for detail and a talent for seeing the extraordinary in everyday objects. They have captured a beautiful dance of light and shadow that feels both calm and energetic at the same time.
The artist shows great skill in how they have composed this image. They have noticed how light travels through blue glass to create those soft, fan-like patterns across the surface. There is a lovely contrast between the solid, scalloped edge of the glass and the ethereal, smoky quality of the light rays. By focusing in so closely, they have turned a simple moment into an interesting piece of abstract art.
The use of colour is subtle but effective. The cool blue tones in the corner provide a refreshing splash of colour against the soft greys, creating a peaceful mood. It’s a fantastic example of how a young person can use a camera or a keen set of eyes to find hidden magic in the world around them. Very impressive.
What a striking and emotional piece from our young artist on DAY 27 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart. It feels like a deep dive into someone’s thoughts. By layering different images on top of one another, the young creator manages to tell a complex story without needing any words.
The most immediate thing you notice is the beautiful use of pink and purple lighting. It gives the entire work a soft, dreamy quality that makes it feel like a memory or a quiet moment of reflection. The way the shadows fall across the face on the right adds a sense of mystery, drawing the eye toward her expression.
The artist shows great skill in how they’ve blended three distinct elements. The girl on the right seems to be looking inward, perhaps thinking about the past. The face in the centre, looking directly at you, creating a strong personal connection. The inclusion of the dried rose petals held in a hand adds a touch of nature and suggests themes of time passing or holding onto something fragile.
This piece is successful because it doesn’t just show a person; it shows a feeling. The choice to use a double exposure style makes the art feel stylish and sophisticated. It captures that relatable feeling of having many different thoughts and emotions happening all at once. The young artist clearly has a talent for composition and a great eye for moody, atmospheric photography. We loved it!

This piece for DAY 28 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a stunning example of how mixed media can bring a portrait to life. It has the feel of a shrine.

The choice of a bold red beret against the olive green backdrop creates a beautiful contrast, but it is the fine details of the face that truly hold the attention. The eyes are perhaps the most compelling part of the painting. There is a clear, glassy reflection in them that makes the subject look like they are caught in a moment of deep thought. They feel incredibly human and full of emotion.
The hair is handled with a wonderful sense of realism. It doesn’t look stiff; instead, it falls with a natural weight and softness around the face. The delicate highlights on the blonde strands suggest a real light source, giving the entire portrait a three dimensional feel. From the soft glow of the skin to the subtle shadows under the beret, the artist has mastered the art of making a flat surface feel like a living person.
What makes this artwork truly unique is the way it is housed. By placing the portrait inside a decorated cabinet, the artist has turned it into a storyteller’s treasure box. The use of real buttons, beads, and shells adds a fantastic tactile element. The strings of buttons draped like curtains create a theatrical feel, making the portrait the star of the show.
The hand-painted white filigree on the green frame shows incredible patience and a love of detail. It ties the whole shrine together, making it feel like a precious heirloom. At the bottom, the open silver shell adds a touch of mystery and elegance.
The artist has done an amazing job of making something totally unique. By mixing a lifelike painting with a collection of buttons, beads, and shells, they’ve created a piece that feels both trendy and like something that has been cherished for years.

Our young artist on DAY 29 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart shows a real talent for capturing emotion and depth in this portrait.
The way the subject’s eyes are drawn gives the impression of a thoughtful, gentle personality, making you feel like you are really connecting with the person on the page.
We loved the use of soft, smooth transitions of grey and black to give the face a realistic, three-dimensional shape. The subtle shadows around the nose and jawline show a great eye for detail. The slight, knowing smile and the light reflecting in the eyes bring the drawing to life. It feels like a captured moment rather than just a still image.
We thought this was a fantastic piece of work that demonstrates both technical skill and a lot of heart. Very well done.
The artist featured on DAY 30 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart shows a fantastic eye for colour and detail in this sketchbook spread. By exploring the vibrant, microscopic world of Angela Canada Hopkins, the student has created a visual feast.
We love the way the deep reds and bright oranges pop against the cool teal backgrounds, showing a great understanding of contrast. It makes the cells look like they are glowing right off the page. The student’s choice to layer watercolours allows the colours to deepen naturally, giving the work a rich feel.
One of the most impressive parts of this work is the fine line detail added on top of the paint. The tiny dots and intricate patterns inside the larger shapes give the art a sense of scale. By using fine liners, the artist has added a crisp texture that makes the organic shapes feel like something you could reach out and touch. The way the shapes seem to float and bleed into one another creates a beautiful, watery movement across the two pages.
The written analysis is just as strong as the painting. The artist clearly explains their inspiration, linking the bright colours to feelings of new beginnings and playfulness. It’s clear they didn’t just copy a style; they really thought about how those colours affect a person’s mood.
Overall, the student has done a brilliant job of balancing messy, creative exploration with neat, controlled detailing. It’s a confident piece of work that really impressed us.


The artist featured on DAY 31 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart has a fantastic eye for emotion and character, capturing a look that feels both thoughtful and curious.
The way the eyes are drawn is very effective; they have a real sense of looking at something or someone off camera, which tells a story and makes you wonder what the subject is thinking about.
The use of warm, peachy tones for the skin and hair adds a lovely glow to the piece. It shows a great understanding of how to use colour to make a portrait feel warm and full of life. Instead of just blending colours, the artist uses clever little crisscross pen marks to create shadows. This gives the drawing a really interesting texture.
The long, wavy lines of the hair are drawn with such a steady hand. They give the whole piece a sense of movement, almost as if a light breeze is catching the hair.
The tilted angle of the head makes the portrait feel much more dynamic and natural than a straight on photo. It shows the artist is thinking about how to capture a real person in a real moment, rather than just copying a flat image. Very well done.

This artwork on DAY 32 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a vibrant explosion of colour and pattern that immediately catches the eye. The artist has used a beautiful mix of bright reds, purples, and teals that seem to glow from behind the intricate black ink designs.
We particularly liked the way the artist placed the solid, structural shapes at the bottom against the busy, detailed patterns at the top. It creates a really interesting balance and must have taken a lot of patience. The upper section looks like a complex mosaic or a bird’s eye view of a bustling city.
The flowing colours make the whole page feel like it’s moving. It has a high energy, pop-art feel that is very modern and exciting.
The large circles in the foreground give you a place to rest your eyes, making the more chaotic patterns feel intentional and organised.
Overall, it’s a confident and imaginative piece of art that shows a wonderful sense of rhythm and a fearless use of colour.
The artist featured on DAY 33 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart has done a fantastic job of transforming an everyday item into a striking piece of art.
The way the deep, royal blue sits right against the bright yellow shows the artist is full of confidence and really embraces high energy colour. By using what looks like cardboard and layered paper, they have created a 3D effect. It makes you want to reach out and feel the different edges. The white splatters across the gold and blue background look just like a shimmering night sky. It gives the whole piece a sense of wonder, as if this shape is floating through space.
The artist has a great eye for contrast and movement. Even though the shapes are abstract, there is a clear sense of direction; it almost looks like a futuristic sneaker or a speeding ship zooming across the canvas. It’s a confident, fun piece of art that shows a lot of personality!

This artwork, chosen for DAY 34 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart shows a lot of heart and a great eye for detail! The artist has done a wonderful job using a comic book style to tell a story through different panels or snapshots of the same person.
They have used colour very effectively. By keeping the drawing mostly black and white, the artist makes those bright red glasses really grab your attention and pull you right into the character’s expression. The bold yellow and blue backgrounds in the top panels also add a nice energy to the piece.
The artist is thinking about how people feel. In the top panel, the character looks like they are looking up or reacting to someone. In the middle, the sideways glance makes her look a bit nervous or thoughtful.
In the bottom panel, she is looking down, which makes it feel very quiet and personal. Being able to show different moods like this is a real talent!
The artist has put a lot of work into the pencil shading. You can see soft shadows on the nose and cheeks, and they took the time to draw individual eyelashes and the texture of the wavy hair. This makes the drawing feel three-dimensional and real.
Using speech bubbles like ‘Hey Jeff!!!’ and a handwritten note makes you wonder what is happening. It feels like a scene from a movie or a graphic novel. It shows that the artist isn’t just drawing a face; they are telling a story.

Our young artist featured on DAY 35 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart has clearly spent a lot of time observing the details of the subject, resulting in a piece that feels very personal and expressive.
They have done a great job using shadows to make the face look three-dimensional. The way the light hits the side of the face and the neck gives the person a real sense of presence.
There is a beautiful, quiet emotion in the subject’s eyes. They look like they are deep in thought, which tells a story and makes you wonder what they are thinking about.
From the delicacy of the necklace to the individual highlights in the hair, the artist has shown a lot of patience. Even the texture of the rose has been carefully considered.
The way the rose is positioned in the foreground creates a nice balance, leading your eye from the flower up to the person’s face.
The artist displays a real flair for capturing feeling in their work. With this much skill already, it will be exciting to see how their style grows.

DAY 36 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is such a vibrant celebration of colour and texture that immediately draws you into its tropical world. The artist has captured a wonderful sense of personality in the parrot, whose bright blue and green feathers feel alive against the softer, illustrated background.
There is a lovely fluidity in how the turquoise of the parrot’s head bleeds into the deeper greens of its body, creating a natural, watery texture that is very pleasing to the eye.
The use of fine stippling on the beak, wings, and leaves adds a sophisticated layer of detail, giving the image a professional yet handcrafted feel.
The way the pink butterfly and delicate flowers frame the parrot makes the entire scene feel like a captured moment in a hidden garden.
The artist has successfully balanced bold, saturated colours with lighter, airy spaces, ensuring the piece feels energetic without being overwhelming.
This piece is a joyful, technically impressive piece that shows great care and creative flair. We loved it and send heartfelt apologies to the creator for somehow missing it the first time around.

This striking image, which is part of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart series and is DAY 37, serves as a reminder of the raw, creative potential found in a school setting.
The artist makes a brave choice by choosing such a disturbing aesthetic. The sight of heavy tape obstructing the face, specifically the mouth and eyes, creates an immediate sense of discomfort and restriction. It captures that visceral, lump in your throat feeling of being silenced or unable to see a way forward.
By stripping the image of colour, the artist removes distractions, forcing you to focus entirely on the textures of the skin versus the harsh, synthetic sheen of the tape. By obscuring the most expressive parts of the face, they make the remaining details, like the tension in the neck, speak much louder.
While the imagery is intense, it feels incredibly relatable to anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t have a voice or were being held down by expectations or circumstances.
There is a real sophistication in the composition. The way the tape cuts across the frame creates a strong horizontal line that feels like a physical barrier, effectively boxing the subject in. It’s a stark image that proves art doesn’t have to be pretty to be profoundly effective.

Featured on DAY 38 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart, this piece is a wonderfully fun and eye-catching work. The artist’s use of high contrast colours makes the entire composition vibrate with energy; specifically, placing that bright yellow duckling against a bold red background was a brilliant move that commands your attention immediately
The artist has done a fantastic job making the duck look fluffy. Instead of just painting it flat, they have used a dappled, textured technique that makes the feathers look soft and touchable.
What’s particularly impressive is the rendering of the hand. Drawing hands is famously difficult, but the artist has handled it with great skill, using subtle shading to give it a realistic, 3D shape. The way the fingers gently interact with the duckling doesn’t just show technical ability; it adds a lovely sense of touch and connection to the whole piece.
By including the hand in the frame, the artist has turned a simple character study into a real life moment. It feels like someone is playing with a favourite toy or showing off a prize, which makes the painting feel very relatable and real.
Those tiny, high set eyes give the duck a sweet and slightly quirky personality. It’s hard not to smile when looking at it!
Our young artist shows great promise in their handling of composition. They didn’t just place the duck in the centre; they angled it and introduced a human element, which makes the whole image feel much more alive. It’s a bright, cheerful, and confident piece of art. Very well done.

This painting on DAY 39 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart, effectively conveys real feeling by focusing closely on the face. The artist has clearly put a lot of work into the details that make a portrait feel alive.
The focal point is the left eye. The artist nailed the spark by adding those precise white highlights, making the gaze feel direct and soulful. The individual lashes are handled with considerable patience; they aren’t just lines; they have shape and volume.
Instead of sticking to safe skin tones, the artist used a rich palette of pinks, peaches, and even cool undertones. This creates a layered, 3D look that makes the face stand out against the vibrant blue background.
There’s a great energy in the hair. You can see the different strokes where the light hits the strands, moving from dark browns to lighter, honey-toned highlights. It gives the hair a natural flow and weight.
Choosing to crop the face and show only a portion of it feels very professional. It creates a sense of mystery and intimacy, making you wonder what’s happening just outside the frame.
The contrast between the matte skin and the high-gloss shine on the lips and nose ring demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of how different surfaces reflect light.
This artist has a great eye for the small things that make a big impact. It’s a solid, expressive piece that shows such potential.
Day 40 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart, is a fantastic example of what happens when an artist leans into creative flow without overthinking it. It’s got a raw, energetic vibe that feels both intentional and wonderfully spontaneous.
The artist isn’t afraid of the ‘bleed.’ The way the deep greens and sunny yellows melt into each other creates a sense of depth, while those bold splashes of magenta provide a perfect visual punch.
Those thick, dark sweeps act like a skeleton for the whole piece. They give the eye a path to follow, moving through the chaos with a lot of confidence
By mixing watery washes with sharp, dry marks, the artist has created a tactile feeling. It’s the kind of art that makes you want to reach out and touch the page to see how it was made.
The artist has a real knack for balancing chaos and structure. It feels like a controlled explosion of colour. Instead of trying to paint a specific object, they’ve captured a specific mood; one that feels energetic, bright, and a little bit rebellious. There’s a lot going on, but every mark feels like it belongs exactly where it landed.


We thought that DAY 41 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart, was really very impressive. There’s a clever play on perception here. The way the light hits creates this exaggerated, stretched out shadow that really plays with your sense of scale, turning an everyday object into something cinematic and surreal. There’s also a nice balance here. The actual fork is sharp and grounded on the right, while the shadow curves away on the left, perfectly filling the empty space.
Going grayscale strips away the distraction of colour and makes the whole thing about texture and contrast. It gives the metal a moody, industrial feel that’s very satisfying to look at.
The artist has a sharp eye for minimalism. It’s the kind of shot that feels like it belongs in a sleek indie zine or a high end photography portfolio. They have managed to make kitchenware look mysterious and high fashion, which isn’t easy.
This is a clever exploration of light and shape. It shows that the artist is thinking about the why behind the frame, not just pointing and clicking.

The artist featured on DAY 42 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart has captured a moment of unbridled happiness that is honestly infectious to look at.
The first thing that hits you is the energy. By choosing a wide, open-mouthed laugh rather than a stiff, school photo pose, the artist has made the subject feel alive and real. It’s hard not to smile back at it.
We thought the artist did a great job layering different colours to create skin. Instead of using a single flat shade, they’ve mixed in pinks, yellows, and browns, which gives the face greater dimension. Adding the freckles was a brilliant touch; it adds so much personality and makes the portrait feel authentic.
The artist’s grasp of anatomy is clear in how the jewellery complements the face. The placement follows the cartilage of the ear and the slope of the nose, lending the entire portrait a sense of depth and volume.
The hair isn’t just a solid block of colour; you can see individual brushstrokes that suggest movement and light. It frames the face perfectly and enhances the painting’s overall candid feel.
The artist clearly has a keen eye for capturing human expression. They aren’t afraid to lean into the physical realities that make a person unique; the way eyes crinkle in a laugh or the specific way light catches the brow.
DAY 43 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is an example of mixed-media storytelling. The artist is building an aesthetic world that bridges high fashion, city life, and nature.
They have a fantastic eye for contrast. By placing a central, soft toned figure against high energy oranges, pinks, and reds, they make the page really stand out. The embroidery overlaying the imagery adds a tactile dimension, making you want to reach out and touch the page.
There’s a sophisticated scrapbook energy here that feels both intentional and raw. They’ve successfully blended different media: photography, using an iconic figure as an anchor; architecture: usingclean, black and white linework of the buildings provides a grounding, urban structure against the organic butterfly wings and typography: the cutout lyrics give the piece a mood board feel that connects the visuals to a specific vibe.
What’s most impressive is how the artist documents their process. They aren’t just making pretty pictures; they are explaining their inspirations (like Victoria Villasana) and showing how they’ve adapted those influences into their own style. The way they’ve integrated the red phone boxes, a classic London symbol, demonstrates their ability to use visual shorthand to tell a story about location and culture.
Despite having so many elements: flowers, wings, buildings, and text, the page doesn’t feel cluttered. The artist uses the large butterfly wing on the right to lead the eye back toward the centre, creating a nice circular flow that keeps you engaged with every corner of the spread.
This is an incredibly strong piece of work. It shows a high level of technical skill in both drawing and textile work, lots of personality and confidence.


DAY 44 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a high energy explosion of pop culture and pattern work based on the classic chaos of Tom and Jerry, channelling it into a sophisticated, geometric composition.
The use of creates a powerful visual impact. By using solid black shards to break up the scene, the artist gives the eye a place to rest while simultaneously making the intricate patterns in the other sections feel more intense. It has a very graphic novel or street art vibe that feels fresh and bold.
The way the artist has fractured the story is brilliant. Instead of a single image, they’ve created a shattered glass effect in which different moments of the chase occur at once. You can find Jerry peeking out from behind a structure, and Tom is captured in mid-sprint. Details like the block of cheese and a houseplant ground the abstract patterns in a recognisable world.
The variety of linework and textures is impressive. The artist didn’t just fill space; they experimented with different densities, from tight, web like grids to flowing organic waves. This shows a great deal of patience and a steady hand, turning a simple cartoon tribute into a complex work of fine art.
Even though it’s a still image, the piece feels like it’s moving. The diagonal lines cutting across the canvas create a sense of speed and urgency that perfectly matches the characters’ frantic energy. It’s a great example of how to use geometry to tell a story.
This is a confident, stylish piece that shows the artist knows how to balance detailed technical drawing with big, bold storytelling. It’s playful but looks incredibly professional. We loved it!
This black and white photograph on DAY 45 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart captures the rhythmic beauty of modern craftsmanship. It turns a busy industrial setting into a scene that feels both orderly and artistic. By lining up the embroidery machines in a row, the photographer creates a wonderful sense of repetition. It leads your eye through the frame, making the heavy machinery feel like it’s part of a synchronised dance.
The choice to use black and white highlights the gleaming metallic parts of the machines against the soft, dark fabric draped below. It strips away distracting colours so we can focus on the interesting textures, from the smooth knobs to the delicate threads.
The way the closest machine is crisp and clear, while the ones in the distance gently blur, creates a great sense of depth. It makes you feel as if you are standing right there on the factory floor, watching the work unfold in real time.
Even though no people are in the shot, you can feel their presence. The way the fabric is carefully hooped and ready for stitching tells a story of preparation, precision, and the pride behind the Tajima brand name.
The image makes a factory environment feel peaceful and sophisticated. It celebrates the marriage of technology and textiles, showing that there is deep beauty in the tools we use to create.

DAY 46 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a fantastic sketchbook spread that shows a brilliant spark of inspiration! It is clear this young artist has a big imagination and a real talent for world building.
They do a wonderful job of showing how one idea leads to another. They looked at the jagged, sharp mountain peaks in their inspiration photos and used those same energetic shapes to build their own futuristic tower.
It’s great to see how they took outer space vibes and translated them into a solid, detailed drawing. They didn’t just copy what they saw; they let those images inspire them to create something entirely new.
The decision to use a fine liner shows that they wanted their ideas to be clear and strong, making the building’s complex details stand out beautifully against the white paper. Every little detail, from the satellite dish to the tiny stairs, really pops off the page and makes you feel like this is a real place with a story to tell.
This young artist is clearly filling their creative tank by looking at the world around them and then letting those ideas grow into something spectacular on the page.


We thought the artist featured on DAY 47 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart had done something really clever by blending a portrait with sheet music. It makes you wonder whether the person in the drawing is the one singing, or if the music is simply what’s playing in their head. It’s a unique way to tell a story without using any extra words.
The young artist has a real talent for using shadows. Look at the way the light hits the forehead and the bridge of the nose; it makes the face look 3D and very realistic.
There is a serious, thoughtful look in the subject’s eyes. Even though musical notes are layered over them, the expression still comes through clearly, giving the piece a soulful, vintage feel.
It’s not easy to draw over text and lines, but this artist managed to make the face the star of the show. They have used the dark tones of the hair and suit to anchor the drawing, so it doesn’t get lost in the sheet music.
The warm, old paper colour of the background gives the whole artwork a classic, timeless vibe. It feels like a treasure you’d find in an old trunk or a dusty music shop.
This is a bold and successful experiment. The artist has combined two different worlds, visual art and music, to create something brand new. It shows a lot of confidence and patience, especially in the fine details of the hair and eyes.

DAY 48 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a vibrant and energetic exploration of rhythm and movement. By taking the familiar shape of a guitar and stretching it into a swirling, kaleidoscopic pattern, the artist has created something that feels both musical and hypnotic.
The way the guitar necks curve inward toward a central point creates a powerful spinning effect. It feels as if you are looking down into a musical whirlpool.
The contrast between the deep, warm reds of the guitar bodies and the cool, watery blues of the background makes the instruments stand out. The use of blue shading adds depth, as if the guitars are floating in a dreamlike space.
Instead of drawing a guitar in a traditional way, the artist uses distortion to their advantage. The elongated fretboards lead the eye around the entire canvas, ensuring that there is something interesting to see in every corner.
The visible texture from the colouring gives the piece a personal, authentic feel. It has a rock poster aesthetic that is very approachable and fun. It’s a playful, imaginative piece that shows a great eye for symmetry and flow.

This mechanical skull drawing is an impressive display of patience and imagination. The artist featured on DAY 49 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart has successfully blended biological shapes with high tech machinery to create something that feels both futuristic and ancient.
The creator of this piece clearly has a fantastic eye for intricate patterns. By filling the skull’s brain and eye sockets with tiny circuit boards and wires, they have given us so much to look at that every glance reveals a new hidden detail. The artist uses very clean, sharp black lines that make the mechanical parts look precise and engineered.
They does a wonderful job using overlapping pen lines and smooth transitions to give the skull a heavy, metallic weight. By layering these tiny strokes in different directions, the artist creates deep shadows around the jaw and forehead, making the drawing feel solid and three-dimensional.
By keeping the entire image in black and white except for the glowing blue eyes, the artist creates a powerful focal point. Those eyes make the skull feel alive or powered on.
The piece is beautifully balanced. Even though there are various components on either side of the head, such as the cooling fan on the left, the overall shape remains perfectly centred and pleasing to the eye.
This artwork has a cool, science-fiction edge that reminds one of a high-tech robot or a video game character. It shows a great deal of technical skill; the way the artist adds intricate layers of mechanical parts makes the design feel complex and real.

This artwork on DAY 50 of Clevedon School’s #100daysofart is a striking celebration of contrast, blending the sombre imagery of a skull with a vibrant explosion of nature. It carries a beautiful Day of the Dead energy that feels both respectful and full of life.
The artist does a fantastic job of balancing the monochromatic, pencil shaded skull with the intense, saturated colours of the flowers. This creates a visual tug-of-war that keeps your eyes moving across the page.
There is wonderful detail in the flowers’ petals. The thin, flowing lines give them a delicate, organic texture that contrasts perfectly with the solid, dark voids of the eyes and nose.
The shading on the left side of the skull shows a great understanding of form. The soft transitions in the pencil work give the bone a three-dimensional feel, making the skull appear solid and heavy.
The small, colourful symbols, like the star on the forehead and the patterns on the chin, add a touch of whimsy. These details suggest that this isn’t just a skull, but a decorated vessel full of stories and personality.
The way the flowers seem to be growing out of the right side of the face is a clever compositional choice. It breaks up the symmetry of a standard skull drawing and turns the piece into a metaphor for growth and beauty emerging from the past.
And that brings us to the end of our second milestone! Looking back at this collection, from day 26 to day 50, it is clear that the talent within Clevedon School is not just diverse but remarkably brave. Seeing the students tackle new techniques, refine their visual voices, and document their failures alongside their successes is a powerful reminder that art is a process, not just an end result.
We hope you have enjoyed this second instalment as much as we have. We’ll be back soon to feature the next set of highlights, in the meantime, don’t forget to keep an eye on the official Instagram for daily updates, and continue cheering on these incredibly talented young artists as they navigate their creative journeys.
Until next time, let’s keep celebrating local creativity!
